Hey all, Recently we had a discussion internally about whether to build upstream Ansible rpms on Fedora 29 using Python3 or Python2. This lead to a question about how useful the Fedora rpms Ansible releases on https://releases.ansible.com/ are. We found that for each of the Fedora releases, the rpms are being downloaded 300-350 times a week (including downloads that seem to simply be mirrors of all of the rpms we've built).
By comparison, our builds for EPEL-7 are seeing about 8,800 downloads a week. Given this, we're thinking that we should stop building rpms for Fedora and instead encourage people to use the rpms provided by the Fedora Project themselves (which will tend to be more responsive to changes in Fedora's packaging ecosystem... for instance, they have Ansible rpms on Fedora 29 which use Python3, the default python for that version of the distro). If anyone uses our rpms in preference to the Fedora rpms, could you let us know that you do so and why you use them over the ones provided by Fedora? If we don't hear of a good reason to do so, we'll probably stop building for Fedora in a release or two.
